"Biblical principles are presented, explored, and expounded in an excellent way for each topic in a topical form. From the hermeneutics or interpretation approach, Jack and Judy effectively use the Bible verses in a very healthy way and in the best way. Their books are practical in nature and easy to understand and apply in our daily life-both for new believers or mature ones."

"Lamplight books are really light in the darkened path of this earthly life for everyone. The words are very simple and very understandable even to the common men. There is a great famine in the Third World countries for God’s Word. Supplying the spiritual food (Lamplight books) free of cost to the pastors of the Third World country is a special and appreciable part of Lamplight Ministries."
